Lailatulqadar (Song of Missing For Fathers)
Chapter 15

''How's the sale? Laku?" mira asked when she saw Laila coming home.

"I'm all, Bi." Laila keeps an empty basket of used sales.

"Well pinter is also you, tomorrow around again right?" mira said with sumringah seeing all her takjil had expired unceremoniously.

"Yes, bi. This is the money." Laila is making money from the sale of the takjil.

Mira accepted it with a smile continuing to expand on her lips.

'There's no point in it too!' mira muttered in heart.

"It's open soon, you're ready!" said Mira while putting the money earlier in the pocket of the negligee in her.

Laila went inside already Handoko, Dita, Aldo and Qadar in the dining room.

"You must be tired, let's sit back and open again" said Handoko.

"out of sale?" he continued as Laila sat beside Qadar.

"Alhamdulillah be finished Uncle," replied Laila.

"Alhamdulillah."

Elsewhere in Ambar's residence. Restu was waiting for the time to open with his family.

The sound of bedug was then heard, the sign they could break their fast.

After reading the prayer they immediately tasted the takjil that was bought by Restu from his Aunt Laila named Mira.

"Well, where did you buy it?" ask Syarif after tasting takjil made by Mira.

"Restu bought it" replied Ambar.

"It's from my friend, her name is Laila."

"Ohuk.. " Sarif choked when he heard the name Laila, even though the one who has the name is not just one.

Syarif remembered Laila his son, but there was no way Laila would be in the village, he thought.

"Be careful eating!" Ambar poured water on her husband.

"According to mom, good?" ask Restu.

"It's delicious, '" said Ambar.

"Later if for example there is an open event together, I bought the takjilnya here only. Don't bother making it, it's cheap." Restu.

"It just so happens that the fourth day of fasting later the mother has the same accompaniment of friends. Because again fasting we agreed to open together while arisan, and mother order deh. You're the one who took mom to your friend's place!" said Ambar.

"Ready ma'am!" Restu seemed happy because his mother wanted to buy a notch made by his aunt Laila. This means Laila does not have to sell around, just focus on orders. Even if you have to keep selling around, at least only the rest of his mother's order.

After opening Laila and Qadar, Handoko and Aldo also opened. Dita also terawih but he went with his friends, either to the mosque which is because Laila did not find Dita while in the mosque where terawih. While Mira as usual, he only watched television at home and did not participate in laughter with others.

After returning home, Laila and Qadar ask Handoko for permission if they will go to the photocopy for a while. Laila made her point that she would print and reproduce her father's photos to spread.

"Good idea, why not say from yesterday let Uncle help print in the office," said Handoko.

"Laila deliberately didn't say, don't want to bother Uncle much."

"Well, what is it? You are also Uncle's child, if only print and multiply photos do not take notes," said Handoko.

"What's Uncle, let Laila print it now just the same Qadar. Tomorrow Laila will be spread out near Qadar school and on the streets that we will pass when we go home from school" Laila said.

"Yes, you guys don't go anywhere! Habsi from the photocopy immediately go home," said Handoko.

"Good Uncle," said Laila nodded lightly and then separated from Handoko and Aldo at a crossroads.

Laila and Qadar are waiting for a reprint of their father's photo.

Both of them sat in the plastic chair in front of the photocopy, while watching people passing by and coming home clean.

Laila squinted her eyes when she saw who was standing not far from where she was.

"Qadar, look there! That's not Brother Dita, is it?" Laila pointed with her finger across the street about a few meters from where she and her sister were sitting.

"I don't know, maybe his friend."

"Don't Dita's boyfriend? Is Dita's sister unsawih yes, but even dating?"

"Huss, little boy knows what about dating? Who knows they accidentally met when Kak Dita returned home terawih, can that be it?" guess Laila.

"Maybe, too." Qadar.

Accidentally Dita also caught the whereabouts of the two brothers.

'Oh, my God, how are they here? What if they were aduin I'm the same Dad?' batin Dita's.

"Why are you beb?" tanya Revan Dita's boyfriend.

"I'm home!"

"Don't dong, I still want to talk to you" hold Revan.

"It's time to go home terawih, which there will be nyokap bokap I suspect."

"Yes it's up. But do you want me to anterin to get home?"

"No, I'm going home by myself!" Dita also passed from there while Revan himself left the place, advancing his motorbike tightly until the noisy exhaust roared deafeningly.

"Heh why are you here?" tanya Dita who is now approaching Laila and Qadar.

"For the photocopy brother. Brother himself. "not finished yet Laila replied Dita had cut off his words.

"Well, if you dare to talk to my Mom and Dad, about me meeting a guy!" cut Dita with a threatening tone even though Laila and Qadar did not think that Dita was making a deal with the guy earlier. They think Dita accidentally met his friend, but instead Dita herself who clarified the real situation.

"Yes brother. We're not gonna say." Laila replied.

Dita was wandering away from there, it seems like Laila and Qadar are quite trustworthy, he thought.

"That was Dita's boyfriend, right? Bener said me," whispered Qadar when Dita had gone some distance .

"Sstt, it's none of our business. Don't discuss it again later sloshing at home can be dangerous!" laila's Reprimand.

Qadar kept silent according to the words of his brother Laila.

"This deck's done." The photocopier inserts the HVS sheet into the plastic.

"How much Sir?"

"Ten thousand."

"Here's money. Thanks, Sir!"

Laila and Qadar went home soon after multiplying their father's picture.

"Hopefully in this way we can quickly meet with Dad," Laila said, hugging the HVS paper.

"Aamiin, brother," said Qadar as if he could not wait for the miracle.

***

In the morning, Laila and Qadar left for school. They seemed excited because they were going home from school and they were going to spread their father's picture on every corner of the city street.

Qadar went inside the school gate while Laila as usual waited outside. But this time he had activities, while waiting for Laila can while pasting pictures of his father in several places around Qadar school.

There were some trees on the side of the road and Laila put the picture there. Laila returned to the gate of Qadar's school. But his steps stopped when he saw two men coming out of the black car in front of the school gate.

Restu got out of the car, and the man with him was very familiar to Laila. Yes, he's Sharif Laila's father. Sharif Airlangga's.

Laila watched the two of them from a distance. He saw Restu kissing the back of Sharif's hand, as the child in his parents when he was going to school.

Could Restu Airlangga be the son of Sharif Airlangga, his father? Laila's heart was in turmoil. Should he be happy now that he has found his father? Or should be sad because in reality the father had a child other than himself and the child was Restu. Hard to believe but Laila saw with her own eyes. From Restu's mouth movement, Laila can catch if Restu calls Dad to his father's Sharif.

Laila crumpled the paper in her grasp. Tears crammed and just flowing from the corner of the eye. The entire body shook watching the two of them. If it's like this should Laila show a paper leaflet containing a picture of her father to Restu?
